Chapter 497: Chapter 493: The King’s Body List, a Meeting

With everyone watching, the Qingtian Roc departed the Six Eastern Provinces and returned to the boundless East Sea.

At that moment, a group of young people were gathered inside a palace.

The crowd was split into two groups. One, of course, consisted of Ling Tianxu, Ye Chenyu, and their companions, while the other was made up of disciples from the Creation Academy.

"Congratulations to you all on entering the Creation Academy."

The speaker had an extraordinary presence. His eyebrows were as sharp as swords, he wore resplendent robes, and on his head sat a Purple Gold Dragon Crown. He naturally projected an aura of sovereignty, as if born to rule.

"And you are, Senior Brother?"

Jian Jiuge quickly stepped forward to greet him. Seeing as these were disciples of the Creation Academy, no one in his group dared to underestimate them.

"My name is Tang Lin."

The young man stated his name.

After introductions were exchanged, the newcomers quickly learned that, with the exception of Tang Lin, all of the other Academy disciples were from the Outer Courtyard. Only Tang Lin himself had entered the Inner Courtyard.

According to them, there weren’t many Inner Court Disciples, and every single one was a prodigy of the younger generation. The other Inner Court Disciples had little interest in this trip to the Six Eastern Provinces; only Tang Lin had bothered to come along.

What shocked the newcomers even more was that this Tang Lin also possessed an Innate King’s Body!

The Crimson Flame King Body!

That was Tang Lin’s physique.

"Across the Great Thousand Realms, there are a total of one hundred and eight King’s Bodies. The Sword King Body is ranked in the nineties on the King’s Body List, whereas Senior Brother Tang’s Crimson Flame King Body is ranked eighty-ninth—even stronger than the Sword King Body."

An Outer Disciple declared proudly.

The King’s Body List was a famous ranking known throughout the Great Thousand Realms, ordering all one hundred and eight King’s Bodies according to their relative strength.

On the King’s Body List, the Sword King Body was considered a relatively low-ranked physique.

"I hope I’ll get the chance to witness your great skills for myself, Senior Brother Tang."

Ling Tianxu’s gaze was sharp, and his fighting spirit burned intensely.

"There will be plenty of opportunities," Tang Lin said with a haughty smile. "As your senior, let me offer a word of advice. Once you’re at the Creation Academy, even a dragon must coil and a tiger must crouch. Act too arrogantly, and you’ll be the one to suffer for it."

"Hmph." Ling Tianxu snorted coldly.

"Please don’t mind him, Senior Brother Tang. That’s just Junior Ling’s personality," Jian Jiuge quickly interjected, trying to smooth things over.

"And what might this Junior Sister’s name be?"

Tang Lin’s gaze shifted to Ye Chenyu.

Although Ye Chenyu wore a veil that obscured her face, a look of stunned admiration still flashed in his eyes. Back in the Celestial Domain, he had seen more than his fair share of beauties.

But she was the first one he had ever encountered who was so unique.

However, Ye Chenyu paid him no mind, simply turning and walking away.

Seeing this, Tang Lin’s expression darkened with displeasure.

Thanks to Ye Chenyu, the gathering didn’t last much longer, and everyone soon went their separate ways.

"Senior Brother Tang, you’ve taken an interest in that Ye Chenyu?"

An Outer Disciple asked after the newcomers had departed. They had already learned Ye Chenyu’s name from Jian Jiuge and the others.

"Honestly, I’ve been with plenty of women, but one like her? She’s the first I’ve ever seen!" A fervent glint appeared in Tang Lin’s eyes; he couldn’t get Ye Chenyu out of his mind.

"Heh, with a woman like that, you can’t be impatient, Senior Brother Tang. She’s a newcomer, so she must be completely clueless about the Creation Academy and the Celestial Domain. You can start there. Tell her all about the Academy and the Domain, and slowly get closer to her. Once she’s familiar with you, you’ll have your chance to claim her," the Outer Disciple advised.

"You have a point. She doesn’t know me, so it’s only natural she’d be on her guard. Besides, a woman who’s too easy to win over is no fun anyway."

Tang Lin licked his lips and walked out.

A short while later, he found Ye Chenyu again.

"Junior Sister Ye, since you’re new to the Creation Academy and unfamiliar with everything, how about I..."

"Tang Lin, is it?"

Ye Chenyu cut him off coolly, not letting him finish.

Her voice was like heavenly music, every word melodic. "I understand what you’re thinking. But tell me, are you worthy?"

Are you worthy?

Those three words slammed into Tang Lin’s ears.

He never expected Ye Chenyu to be so blunt.

"You think I, with my Crimson Flame King Body, am not worthy of you?" Tang Lin was so furious he began to laugh.

"A mere King’s Body? What is that? Even a Sacred Body, in my eyes, is not worth a single one of his fingers." Ye Chenyu’s voice seemed to drift down from the heavens, carrying an ethereal quality.

"’His’? So you already have someone you like. Who is it? Could it be that Ling Tianxu? No, that’s not it. You won’t even spare him a glance!" Tang Lin’s gaze was as sharp as a knife.

"Stop guessing. Get lost," Ye Chenyu said indifferently.

Tang Lin’s fists clenched. Never in his life had he suffered such a humiliation.

A tyrannical aura began to radiate from his body.

"If you intend to make a move, I will kill you right here." Ye Chenyu’s beautiful eyes met Tang Lin’s. Her pupils were devoid of emotion, holding only an absolute disregard for everything.

"Kill you? You, someone from the measly Six Eastern Provinces, think you can look down on everyone just because you have Heavy Pupils?"

Tang Lin sneered. "But there’s no fun in bullying a woman. Why don’t you tell me who this man you like is? Let him come and fight me. I’d really like to see what kind of man you hold in such high esteem."

"You are not worthy," Ye Chenyu said, shaking her head.

"That’s enough, Tang Lin. Don’t cause trouble for your Junior Sister."

Just then, an elderly man stepped out. It was the Third Elder.

Upon seeing the Third Elder, Tang Lin didn’t dare act presumptuously. He let out a cold snort and stormed off.

...

「The next day.」

The Qingtian Roc officially left the Meteor Sea Region and entered the Chaotic Sea Region.

’So this is the East Sea... I wonder where he is now?’

As Jian Jiuge and the others gazed down at the boundless sea below, their thoughts all drifted to Ning Jiang.

Hunted by the Seven Great Kings, Ning Jiang had fled the Six Eastern Provinces and vanished into the East Sea. That man, who was like a Divine Demon, was impossible for any of them to forget.

Fighting the Seven Great Kings all by himself—who would believe such a legendary tale if they heard it?

’If he were here, he would undoubtedly outshine everyone!’

’I wonder if he’s even still alive?’

Yan Qingxue sighed softly. Even though they had once been opponents, she had to admit that Ning Jiang’s brilliance was unparalleled.

SKRAWWW!

Just then, the Qingtian Roc let out a sky-shattering cry and halted its flight.

"Huh? Why did it stop so suddenly?" The group was taken aback.

"Who’s there?" The Third Elder and the others rushed out onto the roc’s back.

"The White Dragon Palace Master of the Dragon God Celestial Palace, here to pay a visit."

A cool, clear female voice drifted over from a distance.

When the group emerged, they saw a man and a woman standing in the sky ahead.

The instant they saw the man, Jian Jiuge and his companions were utterly thunderstruck!
